Chapter 466: Chapter 465: Abundant Martial Virtue

Indeed, it was for this reason that Zhang Yanhang had given up the fantasy of using Buddha Relics to upgrade the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist from the very beginning. Instead, he turned to the more pragmatic second upgrade condition, which was to consume equipment of the same quality to enhance the quality of the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist.

Speaking of the quality of the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that it seemed he hadn’t upgraded it for a while, as he had been maintaining it at a light Golden quality recently.

But there was no helping it. After all, to continue enhancing the quality of the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist required consuming three light Golden quality weapons. However, he had only managed to collect one light Golden quality Heavenly Martial Soul-devouring Sword and still needed two more weapons of the same quality to improve the Fist’s quality.

Currently, he had no stable channel for acquiring light Golden quality weapons, so he could only wait and rely on time. When the time was right, it would naturally be possible to upgrade.

"Never mind, let’s not think about the Land of Buddha Country for now. Since I definitely can’t beat it, and since I can’t beat it, the idea of quickly enhancing the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist with the help of Buddha Relics is just an illusory reflection, completely unachievable.

So now, I should refocus my attention on the Fifth Tier magic that just refreshed from the Scroll Dragon Bloodline," Zhang Yanhang sighed deeply and then began to reexamine the remaining four Fifth Tier spells.

In addition to the High-level Giant Transformation Technique, which was quite important to Zhang Yanhang, the second spell that refreshed this time was the High-level Flash Technique. After reviewing its effects, Zhang Yanhang discovered it was an upgraded version of the low-tier Flash Technique, though he couldn’t clearly remember whether it was Third Tier or Fourth Tier.

The previous low-tier version of the regular Flash Technique had significant shortcomings: it allowed for only short-distance flashes, around a few dozen meters, which frankly made running on his own faster than casting the spell.

Moreover, such an unimpressive flash distance came with a high failure rate of over twenty percent, which could even be as high as fifty percent, meaning only one successful cast out of two attempts.

That seemed decent, but in reality, if used during combat, it might lead to a failure on the first try and then being split open by an enemy’s blade before getting a chance for a second attempt.

Of course, the main reason for the Flash Technique’s failure was the spellcaster’s lack of proficiency, an inability to quickly connect with the nearby dimensional space for the transfer. So, with enough practice, it would not be so prone to fail under normal combat conditions.

Well, that’s provided the spellcaster’s mental fortitude is strong enough to maintain a calm mindset throughout, even if an enemy’s blade is about to strike one’s head, otherwise, spellcasting could still fail due to psychological reasons despite prior practice.

But this High-level Flash Technique was completely different: not only did it offer a one hundred percent chance of successful casting, but the flash distance also greatly increased from a few dozen meters in the low-tier version to several hundred meters, making it much more practical.

"With the aid of this High-level Flash Technique, it seems my speed of destroying cities has once again increased. Taking into account a flash each second, and each time perfectly reaching the outer limit of the last Death Wave’s range, within a minute, I could drain my physical strength.

Also, having released sixty Death Waves in that minute, I should be able to cover an area of approximately twelve square kilometers. Based on Qin Island City South District’s population density of twenty thousand people per square kilometer, I can now eliminate two hundred and forty thousand people in just one minute using Death Wave.

I remember not long ago, my highest killing record was only a few tens of thousands, and now, not only has it climbed from five to six digits at once, but it has also at least quadrupled. Is this the advantage of space magic?"

However, compared to casting Death Wave with Flash, Zhang Yanhang undoubtedly favored the use of an Arbitrary gate to deliver Thermo-baric Bombs. If replaced with Arbitrary gates, the number of people killed per minute would definitely exceed six figures and could climb to seven figures or even higher.

Therefore, compared to deploying Death Waves with Flash, Zhang Yanhang felt that using Flash during combat to dodge enemy attacks would be of more value to him.

Although this method was indeed uninspired, and he typically wouldn’t dodge enemy attacks, it could still come in handy if he encountered an attack he couldn’t withstand in the future--after all, Zhang Yanhang was not someone who had to face every attack head-on.

After inspecting the High-level Flash Technique, Zhang Yanhang continued to review the Mage Leader Power Armor. From the name alone, one could tell that this spell was part of the same lineage as the High-level Mage Armor and the Advanced Mage Armor from the Third Tier magic, only with the defensive power of the Mage Leader Power Armor being stronger.

After a quick review of the spell effects, he discovered that the main function of the Mage Leader Power Armor was to provide the recipient with a layer of transparent force field armor that offered exceptional resistance to both physical attacks and energy attacks.

Furthermore, the most important feature was that the Mage Leader Power Armor could be layered on top of both High-level Mage Armor and Advanced Mage Armor.

This meant that Zhang Yanhang would be able to add three extra layers of Mage’s Armor on top of his Energy Shield, greatly enhancing his security in the Ashen World.

What exactly was this force field armor? In simple terms, it was a weakened version of an AT force field.

Of course, that was the current situation. If Zhang Yanhang’s Intelligence Attribute Value increased, surpassing an AT force field in defensive power would be a breeze.

After all, the power system of Eva, though intimidating in appearance, was not so impressive. A Second Tier Zhang Yanhang might have been cowed by it, but a Third Tier Zhang Yanhang would definitely strike hard.

For Awakeners from the Main World, who are abundantly virtuous and capable of destroying cities and annihilating countries, most of the power systems from pre-Spiritual Qi Recovery films and games are simply not up to standard. After all, even a Fourth Tier Awakened like the group leader could easily destroy a provincial unit.
